besides your main reasoning can also be used against the school

the majority of the people is tolerant gay people, if the minority who is intolarant does not agree, well than thats their bad luck and they just have to live with it.

i dont think such reasoning is correct but its what you said.
I live in Scotland, and we've had state-funded Catholic schools since 1918, as well as the state-funded non-denominational school, which effectively means Protestant schools (well not not necessarily nowadays, depends on the area). Anyway, up until now, the main issue people had with the school was from a moral, and not legal perspective. I do not think it is necessarily immoral for different people to be seperate but equal. If that's the way people want it to be, then let it be so for them, instead of some activists (which this kid was really, even if she's right) demanding everyone integrate when most people don't want to.
